Hey all !!
We decided last night to leave La Pas and head to Ponce, P.R. early this morning. We had a weather window with light trade winds to make a quick 25 mile passage to Ponce. (second largest city on the island). We are low on most supplies and necessities, so we need a city to reprovision and get stocked up. Florida type supermarkets, big box stores (Sam's Club), Wal;Mart, and marine supply stores are all available in Ponce. We have not done a major reprovisioning since we were in Florida in mid-December. The freezer and pantry are looking pretty empty....so it's time.
In addition, we have to do some major preventative maintenance on Persephone....oil changes on both the main engine, and the generator, check batteries, clean the bilges, check the rigging, washing/waxing etc. All boring, but very important chores will get done in the upcoming week.
AND, we have to stock up because we heard from Mike that he is coming down for 10 days to hang out with us. Mike arrives next Sunday (May 9th) and will be accompanying us to the Spanish Virgin Islands.
That's all for now.....we have internet service this week through the Ponce Yacht Club, so we will be posting regularly, and get caught up with posting our pictures....more to follow.....
THE CREW
